The recreational use of marijuana has been glamorized over the years by such on-screen duos as Cheech & Chong and Harold & Kumar, but is the drug everything that Hollywood makes it out to be? Then again, are we being hypocritical by allowing alcohol consumption but not cannabis usage? With passionate believers on both sides of the argument, it will be interesting to see what happens when the smoke clears.

Wow...
Are you serious that you think it has no negative effects? I teach at an alternative high school, and it's SO obvious who uses and who doesn't. The motivation level drops big-time. Also, most of our students who go to inpatient and outpatient go for marijuana use. How is someone who is consistently breaking the law considered a credible source? Obviously it's not hard to be an expert. Where are your CREDIBLE sites and sources for marijuana not having negative effects? I'm seriously in shock right now.

RIGHT.....
So you can tell just by looking at someone if they smoke pot? Quit your job and go to work for the DEA you'd be perfect. Most if not all your students have tried or are smoking pot. The troubled ones do? Well of course! Would you be surprised that adults with problems drink? My surprise is that someone as close-minded as you is a teacher but that's our failing education systems fault. Most of the people who smoke pot are otherwise law -abiding citizens FYI . So get some facts and skip the Holier than thou attitude. You are the one who needs Alternative education.
